So my neighbor next door and his brother who visits every time there is a race in town are awesome. Today as I was out in the front yard my neighbors brother who was in town visiting gave me a disk with some vintage photos from Laguna Seca and I think he said Riverside from the early 70's. He was/is in to both racing and photography and wanted to get me some of the 914 pictures he had. Check out these awesome vintage photos.








Could you imagine seeing a full race car filling up at the local gas station?




One for Rob Sime

Depending on the specific race this should be Dwight Mitchell in the #30 and Elliott Forbes Robinson should be behind him in the #29 car.

Having known Dwight for many years now (don't see him much since he moved to Florida) I would love to know where the #30 car ended up. I heard it might be on the east coast but nothing specific.

Thanks for the #15 914/6 image. That's the car I worked on when I was but a young man. Bill Cuddy driving a Richie Ginther built car.

Now if there was an image of the McLaren Mark 8E we raced ..........

That 76 Union Station was in the Paddock at Riverside.

Way to cool.

Interesting GT flares on the 914-6. Never seen any with the fender lip detail.
